Peanut butter oatmeal smoothie

I love banana-free smoothies. They’re less sweet, more controlled, and easier to fit into a balanced routine. This peanut butter oatmeal smoothie proves you don’t need fruit overload to get something creamy and satisfying.

Here, oats bring structure, peanut butter adds richness, and the result feels comforting without being heavy. It’s the kind of smoothie that keeps me full — not the kind that leaves me hungry 30 minutes later.

There’s one simple trick at STEP 2 that makes the texture extra smooth, even without banana.

Utensils

• 1 Blender or 1 mixing bowl + fork/whisk
• 1 measuring cup (or a simple glass)
• 1 tablespoon
• 1 serving glass (or jar)
• Optional (for extra smooth texture):
  1 small strainer (if you want a super-smooth finish)

Ingredients (1 serving)

• 30 g rolled oats (fine oats preferred)
• 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
• 200 ml milk or water
• 100 g plain yogurt or skyr (optional but recommended)
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
• Cinnamon or vanilla (optional)

Preparation

STEP 1
If using a blender, add the oats first and blend briefly to break them down.

STEP 2
If mixing by hand, soak the oats in the liquid for 2–3 minutes.
👉 This softens them and creates a smoother texture without banana.

STEP 3
Add peanut butter, yogurt, chia seeds, and any spices.

STEP 4
Blend until creamy or whisk vigorously until fully combined.

Why this works:
Oats provide slow-digesting carbohydrates. Peanut butter adds healthy fats and flavor, which increase satiety. Yogurt or skyr brings protein for better balance.

FEATURED BLENDER

I often use a simple fork or whisk for this recipe. It keeps the texture thicker and avoids over-blending.

You can use a blender, but it’s not required.

2. Recipe Variations

• Vegan: use plant-based yogurt or skip yogurt entirely
• Extra protein: add skyr or a neutral protein powder
• Lighter version: replace milk with water and reduce peanut butter slightly

3. Ultimate Tips

Use natural peanut butter only (just peanuts). Added sugars or oils quickly throw off the balance of this smoothie.

4. Why you’ll love this dish ❤️

• Quick and easy – ready in minutes
• Tasty – rich, nutty flavor without added sugar
• Filling and satisfying
• Nutrient-dense
• Versatile – works blended or mixed by hand
